AI Verified Verified. The official Congress.gov page for the January 14, 2026 Congressional Record contains the exact sentence, "The agreement directs the FCC, within 60 days of enactment of this act, to brief the Committees on illegal AI-generated robocalls." The source page is titled "Explanatory Statement Submitted by Mr. Cole...," which attributes the statement to Mr. Cole, and official House Appropriations materials identify that chairman as Tom Cole.

AI Verified Quote is appropriations-agreement/explanatory-statement language attributed to Rep. Tom Cole (House Appropriations Chair) in the Congressional Record. The congress.gov source URL (article page and the corresponding CREC-2026-01-14-pt1-PgH811 PDF) both returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search independently confirmed that the Congressional Record for January 14, 2026 at page H811 contains the appropriations agreement language directing the FCC, within 60 days of enactment, to brief/report to the Committees on illegal AI-generated robocalls — matching the quote's content. Vote alignment: statement is "[Congress, Feb 2026] Directing the FCC to address AI-generated robocalls" and Cole's vote is "for"; as Appropriations Chair presenting the agreement that directs the FCC to act, "for" is consistent. Quote is relevant to the dataset (a concrete congressional action on AI). Year 2026 matches the record. Checks pass. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 11d ago
